That looks like you're still using a 10.4 X11 on 10.5. I don't believe that's a configuration that we support. You should see a version of 2:7.2-2 on Leopard: $ fink list -t system-xfree86 Information about 7350 packages read in 1 seconds. i system-xfree86 2:7.2-2 [placeholder for user installed x11] i system-xfree86-dev 2:7.2-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 development tools] i system-xfree86-manual-install 2:7.2-2 Manually installed X11 components i system-xfree86-shlibs 2:7.2-2 [placeholder for user installed x11 shared libraries] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
